An introduction to QuadRemesh in Rhino WIP by SimplyRhino UK
In this video Phil Cook from SimplyRhino UK takes a look at another new feature in Rhino WIP: QuadRemesh
This new quad mesh command (QuadRemesh) can create a quad dominant mesh from any input object – Surface, Polysurface, Sub-D, or existing Mesh. It provides an extremely efficient way of reverse engineering existing data, as it can convert directly to SubD.
We’ll also look further at SubD workflows, a subject we started looking at in our previous video An Introduction to SubD (SubDivision Surface Modelling) in Rhino WIP. Watch that SubD video here.

Arthur Mamou-Mani seeks game designers to help realize virtual Burning Man installation
Architect Arthur Mamou-Mani has called for help to turn a timber amphitheater designed for this year's Burning Man into a virtual experience after the desert festival was canceled.
Sharing the design exclusively with Dezeen, Mamou-Mani called on people with expertise in working with gaming engines to help him realize the temporary structure in a digital space.
"We would like to create an online experience with the project, using features such as 'multi-player' on the game engine Unity to allow people to write or place messages of hope on the structure," he said.

Driven — advanced computational design and fabrication strategies
Volumes creative hub in Paris, France, is launching Driven — an incubation program to embed advanced computational design and fabrication strategies in early stage entrepreneurship for a circular economy.
Driven is passionate about how computational design and fabrication can play a crucial role in material use awareness to optimize the flow of material and its economy, to organize its storage, transportation, and reassembly. These elements have strong social implications and economic properties that could enrich any design’s value, scalability, impact, and agency.
Driven wants to put to action the principles of a circular economy in design to showcase built projects embedding such principles realized as proof of concepts. These projects will act as precedents to help all start-up projects that follow in the pipeline.
Call for Applications
Driven incubates early stage projects to become real demonstrators of computational design and fabrication applications for a circular economy, from the design phase to industrial production processes. To find out more about the incubation program, please reach out and visit the early stage incubation program website.
Online Workshop Series Announcement
Driven wants to support all designers, architects, makers (from beginners to those with established practices) that are interested in the topics of the Driven program and are eager to learn more to grow a community with a broader sensibility of design within a circular economy.
The workshop series is for various skill-levels investigating circular economy through computational design and fabrication, data visualization, and machine learning. Here are the current workshops:
- May 25-29 - Introduction to Computational Design with Eugenio Bettucchi (Noumena) ~ register
- June 1-5 - Introduction to Digital Fabrication with Samantha Melnyk (Driven) ~ register
- June 15-19 - Discrete Automation with Gilles Retsin & Kevin Saey (AUAR) ~ registration available soon
- June 22-26 - Machine Learning for Adaptive Temporary Architecture with Mateusz Zwierzycki (Object) ~ registration available soon

xNURBS Rhino plug-in V4 released
Edit and rebuild a xNURBS surface.
Now available: xNURBS Version 4. Existing xNURBS customers get a free update to V4.X. Version 4 includes many enhancements, such as producing better surfacing quality, editing an xNURBS surface, and achieving smaller tangent deviation (less than 0.04 degree), etc.
Why xNURBS? Key features are:
- Unlimited capacities for solving NURBS: Its optimization algorithm can solve virtually any NURBS surface in a matter of milliseconds (regardless of how complex the constraints are).
- High-quality surfaces. For a given set of constraints, xNURBS’ optimization algorithm uses an energy-minimization method to generate the smoothest NURBS surface among all possible solutions. The generated surface quality is outstanding.
- xNURBS is one super powerful NURBS tool that fixes virtually all surfacing issues for existing CAD software.
- Easy-to-use. It uses one simple UI for all kinds of NURBS modeling.
- Super robust. xNURBS is rock solid and works flawlessly.
- Native CAD surfaces. xNURBS is based on NURBS, i.e., the native CAD surfaces, which can be directly used for any CAD modeling operations without any geometry translation.
